For years, drug companies (pharmaceuticals AKA Big Pharma) have been taking the public for a costly ride and making a killing in the process– seriously, a lot of people are dying as a result. In this documentary, find out how Big Pharma’s clever politics and marketing schemes are tailored specifically to empty out our bank accounts and force us to sell-off our homes if need be, for drugs that would otherwise cost a few pesos elsewhere in the world. But it doesn’t stop there:

With so much profit potential glistening in their eyes, these companies have little incentive to provide cures. Rather, they recycle old drugs, modifying them ever so slightly (often resulting in deadly cocktails), for the single purpose of acquiring new patents; thus, renewing their monopoly over pricing. But that’s only the beginning (see the video for more info)…

I take it a step further because I can’t afford expensive stuff. I have an intimate knowledge on chemicals commonly used in foods. I look at the ingredients for prefixes and suffixes I don’t trust and limit or eliminate them. I then compare calories to cost. The avg meal for me is 800 calories. I spend $2 per 800 calories. I eat like a king and spend less than $200 per month while avoiding questionable chemicals. Gotta love the way the brain processes information.

They aren’t “happy pills”, they don’t make you “happy”, they make you cope. And no, not everyone goes through a depression… far from everyone does, it’s not like grief, I can’t make you understand the feeling, or almost complete lack thereof, but it makes you more or less unable to lead a proper life. You sit at home, on your ass, doing nothing, because you think you are worthless, and then you try to kill yourself.

luckily i have been raised to believe that “losers” have to take drugs to deal with life.drugs have their place, pain meds etc.. but for stuff like depression, anxiety, i say go live with the homeless and then maybe you won’t be depressed.

I agree with the last few minutes of this section. My aunt is a doctor and when I visited her one summer, I saw boxes and boxes of products that had the names of pills on them. Things like staplers, flash drives, and a pen that doubles as a portable radio.

I also stopped all other poison intake subsequently
No more msg in any form or any other artificially sweetened toxic waste. Never felt better- in 30 years…
You cannot beat natural foods, zero chemicals.Takes thought , effort..
Once you realize why we are sick…they make money off us while we’re sick.. they want to keep us there…to make more money off us.


Siriusluv on 18 June, 2008 at 7:05 pm #

Thank you Doc Mercola!!!!!

I have been learning about natural herbs, and there are herbs to treat everything that bothers the human condition, and no bad side effects. I have been off all pharmaceuticals for a year now, treating my RA with natural herbs, and I feel wonderful! I have an Apothecary in my kitchen that is growing as my knowledge of the different herbs increases; I don’t even use aspirin anymore, just drink a cup of herbal tea. Aspirin is the cause of thousands of deaths every year in this country.

wow, it seems you guys are really into this … this is only one small part… the governments lie to us about a lot of things, aliens, free energy, they start unnessary wars for profit… youtube> free energy a reality not a conspiracy. Has anyone ever heard of the new world order!? aids was created to thin out the population.. say no to microchips.. **** mindcontrol… do you get the picture!? nasa.. never a straight anwser.. cia cocaine import agency.. dumb deep underground millitary base :)

The big thing to remember with this chapter is that the patent itself is a market interference.

the problem was created by a government action interfering in the market, and now they want to “solve” it with even MORE interference.

this practice was also used to get AZT into the AIDS “fight”

it failed as a cancer drug, killing the patients faster than the diseases they had.

Research about drugs? To find out about
generics? Good message as far as it goes
but you are still stuck inside the medical
model. If you want to get away from powerful
drugs you are, for the most part, on your own.
This series won’t help you. There are
viable alternatives but not the ones you
read in the nice colorful magazines.


realnoid on 29 June, 2008 at 9:10 am #

News stories disguised as advertising. I
wonder how common that is? Ummmm, I know
someone like that why don’t I read this
very very informative article. The article
will inform but the reason the article is
there to begin with is to sell you through
your back door. It is done to “educate”
or to manufacture doubt about alternative
methods.

These “diseases” aren’t fake, but these drug companies are exploiting them, which is only HURTING the people who have them. The difference between the disorder and a normal shyness is the intensity. But the drug companies are just using the name to scare people. I have had Social Anxiety Disorder for as long as I can remember and am slowly getting over it. I never took any kind of drug. Therepy is the real solution, our culture is way too drug-happy.

We had our TV cut off due to costs. Glad we did. I depend on my computer to find out truths and share with others from you tube.

psychiatry is a scam started by the same eugenics fuckers who run all these banks and created our new worthless money that isn’t backed by gold… welcome to the Rothschild world of slaves… Christianity is a fraud based on Egyptian elitism. 666
